When I was a recreational drug user (years and years ago), I used to buy from a dealer who lived in a really sketchy part of my college town. Not only was it the sketchy part of town, but the dealer’s apartment was basically the stereotype of a “drug den”. My friends and I used to refer to it as “The Shady Place”. I was just struck by that memory when I was looking through these photos of Lindsay Lohan leaving Mr. Chow’s last night in LA. Lindsay is a walking Shady Place. Everywhere she goes, she turns the place into a den of crack, drama and sketchiness. My guess is that she got high before she went to Mr. Chow’s, then she did some lines in the bathroom, so she’s riding high in these photos.

You know the Cracken is working again, right? She just finished her first week of The Canyons, that micro-budget film in which LL plays a washed up hooker (typecasting!) who pretty much has sex in every other scene, I think. Well, the film has a Facebook page and director Paul Schrader decided to blow some crack smoke up Lindsay’s ass (she charges extra for that):

LINDSAY. Seven days in, first full week completed. Lindsay Lohan is a huge fan of Hollywood glamour and performances from the Golden Era. Working with her every day on varied scenes I’ve been making a mental checklist of classic movie performances she’s touched upon. There’s has been a lot of Ann Margaret, some Gena Rowlands and Faye Dunaway and of course some bits of Liz Taylor and Monroe as well as a little Rita Hayworth and even Gene Tierney (although the last may be more my creation than hers). Oh yeah, and Angie Dickinson. And Lee Remick. And Shelley Winters… . Paul S.

Ann Margaret? Gena Rowlands? Faye Dunaway? RITA HAYWORTH? Jesus take the wheel. Does anyone else get the feeling that The Canyons is less a “film” and more like a bunch of shady people getting high together and saying, “Dude, you are SO like Steven Spielberg.” And, “I know, girl. You’re like Rita Hayworth. How much for a beej?” Because honestly, I don’t see how someone sober can look at this crack-face and say, “OMG, Rita Hayworth.”

Rita Hayworth had Alzheimer’s very early. I thought the comments were referring to Lohan acting like Rita in the early stages of Alzheimer’s – forgetting her lines, promiscuous behavior. The blue shoes are special, though!

Now chris please stop staring at her boobs and her swollen lips.. concentrate and realise that she is just a 25 years old girl who looks like a cheap hooker after a busy night. STD comes by default with this one..

I guess they are all sharing cause if he really thinks that he isn’t on this planet. What is with her outfit? It is just ugly and her boobs are lopsided. Lindsay might feel because she is getting work she must be doing ok. But the work she is getting is not even D list. With all those famous actresses she is channeling she needs to settle on one and it would help if they could teach her how to apply makeup.

My guess is he was not so much praising her as, say, basically admitting that she is a psycho with about ten clearly distinguishable personalities, each one with a delusion of grandour and a firm belief of resemblance with a beloved HW legend.

Why directors, who obviously are so blind because are either sleeping with her/ staring costantly at her boobs/hoping endlessly for a bj, have to pollute iconic actresse’s name. i mean.. the only thing Rita Hayworth and Cracky Loan have in common are the ginger head.. and maybe some mental illness..but hey Rita at least was talented and classy.

Maybe. Rita once said something like men were disappointed when they thought they’re were going to bed with Gilda and woke up with her…..same thing for Lohan. People go into projects with LL expecting Mean Girls, but wake up to Crackie.

The DListed story/comments on this Lindsay bit are great. Several people are comparing Lie-Ho with Little Edie, but that comparison pisses off all the Little Edie fans. But this series of comments below was my favorite:

It’s like he was just naming every single old timey movie actress he could think of.

Lol! I was one of the Edie defenders! Anyway, people tend to forget that Lilo was a child star like 13 years ago and a young adult star almost 9 years ago. She hasn’t done any acting *period* in recent years, much less any acting comparable to any legends!

last year i was defending her, and rooting for her to grow up and get past a lot of her issues… now it just seems blaringly obvious shes passed some check point of no return. its sad, but at the same time she just seems like such an assh*le.

i grew up with sh!t parents like her and had a few bad years when i was younger, i was really hoping she’d get some frontal lobe development and snap out of it somehow. doesn’t excessive drug use in your teen years almost stop your frontal lobe development dead in its tracks? its like she mentally can’t grow up and realize what a train wreck she is. i dont see her willingly detoxing any time soon… she may be a sloppy b*tch, but i would hate to see this addiction kill her.

Agreed. hollyweird used her up and she’s made self destructive choices that has continued to hurt herself and get career. I feel for her and all the young stars because perves in that town love to use up young girls then leave them to the wolves.

As someone who loves film and writes about it on a regular basis, this almost made me want to throw up. Linds must give one hell of a blowjob in order to get people to say shit like that about her.
Dude obviously has no idea about film whatsoever if he thinks anyone can combine elements of all these actresses. Even someone as fantastic as Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep couldn’t do Ann Margaret AND Liz Taylor AND Rita Hayworth AND Faye Dunaway AND AND AND… This is just ridiculous to the point where it’s both painful and sacrilegious.

He’s completely wrong, but to say “dude obviously has no idea about film whatsoever” shows your own ignorance of film. Dude is Paul freakin’ Schrader. At least spend a few minutes reading about him on Wikipedia before you claim to be more knowledgable about film than he is.

I never claimed to be more knowledgeable, even someone with only a cursory knowledge of film can tell you what I did. I know full well who he is and what he’s contributed to New Hollywood film. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s still at the top of his game or can make accurate assessments about Golden Era stars. Also, blowjobs can turn a guy’s mind to mush.
And if you do give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s still as great as he used to be then you *know* he’s talking out of his ass because someone paid him or blew him (maybe both) to say these ridiculous things. Either way, he’s not looking too good making such comparisons.

Lindsay actually has a lot in common with many of the old-time actresses – it’s just that the media was more discreet then about substance use in Hollywood, and the effects of substance abuse were hidden more easily through black and white film and vaseline on the lens.

Plus actresses with addictions issues back then were contractually forced to work – and given more drugs to enable them to work – like Judy Garland, for instance.

Exactly. a couple of weeks ago American Experience broadcasted Judy Garland’s story and she mentioned how harsh the studio treated her from everything from get life life to working constantly without break. One of the reasons why she ended up on drugs. It’s par for the course in hollyweird. I could here the pain in her voice as she recalled her time under MGM and other venues. Unfortunately, Lindsey is in very good company. nowadays, the tabs generate millions showing stars in the ugliest light because studios realized it was better to gain greater profit from the tabs instead of losing money protecting the image of certain stars who don’t go along with the system.

I bet every actress that was famous, a pin up, or even had a smidgen of notoriety in their day (past and present) is either rolling over in their grave or praying they do not read their name in any delusional reference as being channeled by or a likeness there of when if comes to them and The Cracken!! Next those nasty legs will be as glamourous as Betty Grable’s?? Katherine Hepburn’s sense of timing and Audrey Hepburn’s sense of style???
NOTE TO CRACKEN.. You can’t hold a candle to any of them. And the ONLY THING CLOSE
TO ANGIE DICKINSON IS THE SOMETIMES HOOKER HER CHARACTER DT. PEPPER ANDERSON WOULD PORTRAY WHEN SHE WAS BUSTING JOHNS -Not doing them, BUT busting them… Oh wait Pepper was even a Classy Hooker…lol don’t think that applies to Lohan, that ship sailed w/ the Crack long ago…

The “assistant” is wearing a tee shirt, a long sleeved shirt, and a leather coat (is it January in Los Angeles?), what looks like pajama pants or sweatpants and bedroom slippers. She looks like she tried to get dressed up in that piece of fabric…but he looks like he showers even less frequently than she does and puts in even less effort (is that even possible?). I think the dude in white is giving them the side eye there because they’re stanky.

No I don’t think Lindsay embodies women who were smart enough to have careers as real actresses and not a prostitute who
Sometimes acts .. Sorry ! And I embody Cindy Crawford , Kate upton , and amber Valletta , and all the Victoria’s secret angels .. Running out of names here .. But yeah I’m hot shit here lol haha .
Take it from me , this girl is nothing but a walking splooge sponge . He probably was just trying to get her to give up the back door for $100 less than her normal asking price

“LINDSAY. Seven days in and we’re already three weeks behind. She needed more cash for what she called “That Operation” this week. I caught her with my wallet twice already and she tried to seduce a Production Assistant yesterday. He wasn’t interested and now she demands I fire him. Sigh. When I first arrived at film school I had a lot of dreams you know, none of them involved doing low-grade direct to DVD porno with a dried up junkie who (allegedly) can act. My Mom was right, I should have gone to law school”

What is the side holes in the shirt–is it attached to the skirt? And elasticized waist? I also think she was going for the Kardashian slicked back ponytail but just looks like she has vasoline in her hair.

I’m not sure why he made that odd comment but @Amanda is correct, Paul Schrader is not some guy shooting a movie with a camera he borrowed from his parents. Among other things, the guy wrote Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. He’s directed a number of films as well.

Rita Hayworth sleep her way up the ladder in Hollywood starting as a 15 yr old dancer …she probably sleep with every powerful man in hollywood at the time of her career with the urging and consent of her husbands and managers..She drank like a fish , and smoke like a chimmley…was’nt that great of a actress and wasn’t that hot in bed….men could wait to get her in bed only to get out of bed just as fast…. So yes I see the comparsion but not as a actress as a hollywood whore…. The change rita name , they changed her hair line and hair and they changed her whole mouth and teeth..which hurt her for the rest of her life…. Read the Real Life of Rita Heyworth written about 50 yrs ago…not this modern revisionist hollywood shyt…
If Paul is such a wonderful director why hasn’t he worked since 2008 and the movies he has to his credit are NOt movies I would recommend to anybody…..Sound like he was as high as Lindsay when he gave that interview…..NObody is that talented…NOBODY…..keast if all a no talent like Linday..

Rita Hayworth was a legend. She danced with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. She is considered one of the great golden age actresees. She had a tragic life and dated a few @ssholes, but she was gorgeous as well. Lindsay Lohan is NOTHING compared to her.

Mad – The epitome of a lady! *gigglesnortguffawchokesonlaughter* Cracktinis all around, my lovelies. It is hot and humid as all hell here, and I just got back from a one-stop errand that took 4 HOURS!!

Sorry to disagree, but good ole Mom worked with Rita Hayworth on set in the 40′s. She always was professional, NOT DRUNK during working hours.You would get fired for that in those days, ya now. Would anyone like to hear about my Mom having a car accident with Kath Hepburn?

I hope you know that when it comes to ugliness, you all are giving Lilo a run for her money.
What are you all missin with all this dissin?
Sure, she’s a public person, and this is a public site, so let me say the long reach of addiction doesnt discriminate regarding gender, race, economic background, age, etc.
I’ve been coming sober to meetings for 22 years and seen everyTHING.
Including older folks who thought they were off the hook, never thought they’d have a problem. But there they wd come in, but for the Grace of God go I.
Why you have to diss her, who did nothing to you, is none of my business, and I don’t care either.
But I do hope hope you know the truth -the sad part is I know some of you already do – which is, that none of you are above this.
